This week's challenge is all about hustling. Cardsharping, practising the art of persuasion, selling something, getting something they want or need... It's up to you how you use this prompt!

You have 45 minutes. Get set, go!

Apologies for the lateness of the prompt, but thanks everyone for playing last time!

This week is mix and match time. Pick two of the previous challenges and combine them, including the time allowed.

Have fun!

Hi folks! Thanks for playing in the last challenge.

The new challenge is: 'dawn'. The sneaky part is that this cannot involve an actual dawn, ie, sun rising in the east. Use the concept in a metaphorical sense, in any way you choose.

You have 40 minutes for this challenge. Happy writing!

Thanks all for playing last week. Now, do you enjoy writing dialogue? I hope the answer is yes, because this week's challenge is to write a story that is dialogue only. Take any idea you want, run with it, but only use dialogue to tell it.

You have forty minutes. Get set, go!

Thanks everyone for playing last time. It's time for a new challenge so get your writing trousers on ( Read more... )

New challenge! This week it's one of those 'build a story around these words' challenges. Your words are: Grow. Feather. Knife. Angular. Cat.

I don't mind how you use them or in which tense, but they should all be in there somewhere.

Happy writing! You have 60 minutes.

Sometimes things don't go to plan and we get disappointed, even if it's maybe for the best. You have 20 minutes to write about this. Get set, go!

This week's challenge is 'on the threshold' - thanks to chomiji for the suggestion!

You have 30 minutes. Get set, go!

Your challenge this week is: 'an ordinary day' - thank you to chomiji for the prompt. What is an ordinary day for the ikkou? Do they even have them?

You have 30 minutes for this one.

This week's challenge is: the road not taken

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

From: The road not taken by Robert Frost

You have 30 minutes. Get set, go!
